Speech
Oh, good God, this is amazing. I've got to thank Curtis Hanson for
encouraging me to do this song and everybody at Paramount, Sherry
Lansing and Jonathan Dolgen. But especially Curtis, who just kept
at it. And he said this song was right and just encouraged me to
do it so much and I'm so glad I did. Everybody at Columbia Records,
my record company, who supports me all through these years, Tommy
Mottola, Donnie Ienner, Larry Jenkins, Will Botwin, John Ingrassia,
everybody like that up here. I want to say hello to all of my family
and friends out there watching. And I want to thank the members
of the Academy who, who were bold enough to, to give me this award
for this song, which obviously, a song that doesn't pussyfoot around
nor turn a blind eye to human nature. And God bless you all with
peace, tranquility, and good will. Thanks.
